Tis The Season: The Chicagoist Holiday Meet-Up

By Marcus Gilmer in Arts & Entertainment on Dec 7, 2009 6:20PM

Are you tired of these reminders yet? Too bad! We know we've got some snow between now and then, but that's no reason to be deterred from coming out after the snow has fallen. Ric Hess, Phil Kuhl and the fine folks at Sheffield's (3258 N. Sheffield, 773-281-4989) have graciously allowed us the use of their Beer School bar for the occasion. We're also using this as an opportunity to give back during the holidays, also making it a food drive benefiting the Greater Chicago Food Depository, which is seeing a greater demand for its services in this recession. So if you come, please bring a can or bag or two of food along with you to donate. Some of what the Food Depository needs the most of include: beans, chili, peanut butter, soup, canned veggies, cereal, pasta, rice, tuna, and canned fruits.

We know there are a few other parties/events going on that night but we hope you'll at least stop by for a drink, say hi, and drop off a few cans of food. We're looking forward to meeting the readers of this site that make it worthwhile to keep at it, day after day, and have some fun while we're at it.

Chicagoist Reader Meet-Up/Canned Food Drive, Thursday, December 10, 7 p.m. - 10 p.m., Sheffield's, 3258 N. Sheffield
